What would you do if you checked your account balance and
realized that your company was suddenly in the red, owing more
money than you can even imagine? That's what happened recently
when online
payments company PayPal
accidentally credited a Pennsylvania man $92,233,720,368,547,800,
according to a report by CNN.

For those of us who aren't used to counting that high, that comes
out to more than $92 quadrillion. Yes, quadrillion. It's an
actual number.

To its credit, PayPal quickly corrected the accounting error and
offered to donate an unspecified amount of money to a charity of
the man's choice. The man, who sells auto parts on eBay in his
spare time, said he would have used his sudden, mind-boggling
wealth to help pay down the national debt.
